      <H3 ALIGN="CENTER">Step 4. Populating the Bundle with Resources</H3>
      <P><B>Working within a Group</B></P>
      <P>In the tutorial file, following the process described in the previous 
        step, I created a group called 'Questions' and gave it a comment. To view 
        the group that you created, make sure that the base class at the top of 
        the file tree to the left is selected, press the 'Groups' tab on the right, 
        and select your group name from the drop down menu. With any luck, you 
        will see something like this:</P>
      <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/empty_group.gif" WIDTH="750" HEIGHT="432"></P>
      <P>From this view, there are several options that are to be found in the 
        six buttons to the lower right. We are now going to create a resource. 
        This can be accomplished by either pressing the button 'Create Resource' 
        or selecting 'Add New Resource...' from the 'Options' menu at the top 
        of the screen.</P>
      <P><B>Filling in Resource Information</B></P>
      <P>Once you follow one of the above two steps, you should see a dialog similar 
        to the following:</P>
      <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/empty_resource.gif"></P>
      <P>The group shown is the one currently being viewed when you clicked on 
        the 'Create Resource' button. If you used the menu to bring up this dialog, 
        it may be a different group. You may move the resource to any group you 
        wish by changing the value in this drop down box. Both the entry key and 
        the translation fields are required information. These make up the lookup 
        value and the translation value respectively stored in your bundle. The 
        comment field is there in order to aid those who will be translating your 
        work into other languages. This field provides a way for you to describe 
        the context of this particular resource.</P>
      <P>There are a few ways to create the resource once the information is entered. 
        Pressing 'Create' will add the resource and close the dialog. If you wish 
        to continue creating resources after the current one, pressing 'Create 
        &amp; Continue' will create the resource, clear the information you have 
        just entered, and allow you to enter in a new resource. Pressing 'Cancel' 
        will close the dialog box and ignore any information currently entered. 
        As a short cut, you can also hit enter from any of the text boxes but 
        'Translation'. This will create the resource. Pressing enter from the 
        translation text box, creates a translation that spans multiple lines 
        of text.</P>
      <P>A sample resource creation is show as follows:</P>
      <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/basic_resource.gif"></P>
      <P><B>Using 'Look-ups'</B></P>
      <P>Resource bundles provide a way of translating contextual information 
        as well. For instance, what if I wanted a translation asking the user 
        how old they were, and I wanted to ask it with their name inserted into 
        the question. The placement of their name might be different in different 
        languages. This is the reason for 'look-ups'. The java.text package defines 
        a way for implementing these look-ups using numbers surrounded by curly 
        braces. Thus, I might want to create a resource like the one below:</P>
      <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/lookup_resource.gif"></P>
      <P>Once you enter anything into your translation surrounded by curly braces 
        and change the focus away from the translation field, the dialog box will 
        update itself with areas for you to enter descriptions of the look-ups 
        you have entered. This feature of RBManager allows future translators 
        to understand the context of each look-up.</P>
      <P><B>Editing the Resources</B></P>
      <P>From the 'Groups' tab view, you can at any time edit the default values 
        for a resource. As you enter in new resources they will appear in the 
        group view as shown:</P>
      <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/basic_group.gif" WIDTH="750" HEIGHT="432"></P>
      <P>Double clicking on a resource will bring a dialog box up similar to the 
        one for creating a resource. Remember that it is only from this view that 
        you will be able to change the resource in a way that will effect the 
        entire bundle. Thus it is only in this view that you can change the resource's 
        group, key name, and default translation and comment.</P>
